How to Replace Azure Vision in Foundry Tools

Overview

Azure Vision is a powerful computer vision service that enables applications to analyze images, read text, detect faces, and understand spatial information in real time. It provides prebuilt APIs for image analysis, optical character recognition (OCR), facial recognition, and spatial analysis without requiring machine learning expertise. The service is now integrated into the Foundry Tools platform for building intelligent agents and applications.
